Our Team

Bryan Caplovitz

Founder and CEO

Bryan founded Simply Speaking, Inc. in 2001 as the first online service catering to the emerging speaker/expert
market. That original service became what is now SpeakerMatch, and he created other divisions to cater to
different needs and related markets.

Along with a deep appreciation for the combination of marketing, customer service, and good user experience design,
Bryan brings extensive experience from his background of over 20 years in roles spanning business technology consulting,
internet marketing, strategic partnerships, and systems development — from companies including Random House, Johnson & Johnson, Time Warner, and 3M.

Bryan is also the host of SpeakerMatch Radio where we interview experts
on the business of speaking, and he is the editor of Behind The
Podium, a periodical print publication and online article archive.
